Productive Weekend

I have wanted to get rid of my gross carpet forever (according to Brett it was like 3 months after we moved into this house 8 years ago, I think it was more like 6 months...but who is counting?) Well I finally convinced Brett that we could do it for pretty cheap and thanks to IKEA we were able to put in wood floors (laminate).


BEFORE
Look at all of the dirt that accumulates under your carpet! It is so gross!
AFTER
We painted the livingroom and hallway while we were at it. Everything now looks so fresh and clean! (well besides the footprints that I didn't wipe off before I took this picture)

I love my new floors! Thanks to my wonderful husband for working so hard this weekend to make me happy! (And thus ends my endless battle with some of my carpet...now I will start obsessing about the bedroom carpets).

That looks awesome! Is IKEA cheaper than Home Depot or lowe's? becuase we need to replace ours before me move out of our townhouse (someday), but I told Chris in the meantime rather than live with filthy carpet, we should enjoy laminate floors for a couple more years!

Laura maybe you should complain every single day of your life about how much you hate your gross carpet and then eventually your husband will get sick of the complaining and wear down and put in what you want. (:

Love it, love it, love it. The dark wood is just so sharp looking. Our house has hardwood too and I don't think I want to ever go back to carpet. I wish we had an IKEA store here :-(
